I refer to other versions as helps and commentaries, knowing they are fallable. But I have God's infallable Word and can show it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Â Yomo <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey Yomo there is not much difference between the NKJV and MKJV they are still based on the Textus Receptus. They are simply in more understandable English. Thanks for all the posts guys, as for RevBillBob I will simply ask you to please rather refrain from posting as I politely asked for this thread not to rturn into a KJ only thread. As far as I am concerned KJ only advocates might as well be in a cult I will not even debate the issue because it is pointless. I look forward to hearing from anyone else as to what versions you prefer and just to make it clear I have no problem eith the KJV I use a NKJV as well as NASB and ESV. These are the ones I use for study and I have a number of others as well. So far I am glad to see no one takes the Message and other paraphrases to o seriously, as I believe these really are taking paraphrase too far.

Guest RevBillyBob Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I use the Modern King James Version (not to be confused with the NKJV). I also use the NASB and KJV as comparison. When Im in the mood, I use the Geneva bible and the original 1611 olde english KJV. I love reading the olde english with its unique spellings. Sorry Rev, but I disagree that the other versions are not of God. Homosexuality etc did not come about because of bad bible versions. That evil happened because mankind is degenerate by nature. Many of these problems you point out were in vogue long before 1973. We are approaching the end times when evil will run rampant. It is to be expected that homosexuality and the like will increase. I dont like it, but there isnt much I can do about it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah, Brother, you put words in my mouth. I didn't say that the two evils I mentioned came about BECAUSE of the new versions. I was simply pointing out by example that I see that as a time when evil really started advancing as the end of the approaches, as you so accurately stated. The NIV didn't create homosexuality, it just says it's o.k. as long as homosexuals are not criminals. The NIV had a lesbian heavily involved in guiding the use of language. As a Brother in Christ, I would like to challenge you to check the websites I listed and compare any new version to the KJV. If the one of the new versions is the Word of God, the KJV CANNOT be and vice versa. If a new version is truly God's Word, which one is it?...or is God having trouble making up his mind? The new versions are all different, for example the NASB has been rewritten 6 times, and the NIV has been changed many times, with each version becoming more liberal and less definite. If you are given light to see, when you see things like that the Trinity is obscured/missing from some of the new versions, you will realize that this is not a matter to be taken lightly, but that Christ in you is being attacked by Satan's minions. God bless you, Brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect to the original request, let's keep away from the "KJV only" argument, please. This is not a thread for any one person, or persons, to argue which version is "the best" or "the holiest." Save it for another time, in another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he took into mind along with the original text the cultural implications and setting. BUT My favorite verse is Matthew 6:34. 6:33 is Seek ye first...... but often people leave the verse following, which I think goes hand in hand with it. NIV 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. MESSAGE 33Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.  34"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. KJV  33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. NKJV 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. I think God has and does lead those whom he chooses to help His children have a better understanding. It is up to God to guide each of us to His word, and to discern what He feels about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1611 KJV has these verses. 1Th 5:21 Proue all things: hold fast that which is good. 1Jo 4:1 Beloued, beleeue not euery spirit, but trie the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. The 1611 KJV also contains the apocrypha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
